I think the term heir to Blair is that he has the personal skills of someone like Blair, rather than he is like a duplicate.
Just as Cameron is seen as a son of Thatcher,who also was a greatly divisive figure too.

If Chuka is already getting the put down from Conservative supporters, then for me he must be a really good choice.
Labour should really bear that in mind.

Seriously though, while Blair was incredibly successful, Chucka needs to steer clear of what people came to despise in Blair. If he does that, I think he will do well with the voters. However, the left are going to moan, you can bet a million on it
